Ariane Martina

I am a qualified counsellor, trained in  Integrative Therapy. The main theoretical approaches that i apply in my practice are Person-Centred Approach, Gestalt, Psycho dynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. During my clinical experience, I have had the opportunity to work with groups, individual adults as well as ,young people. To date, I have acquired more than 10 years of supervised clinical practice. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their Codes of Ethics.

I am able to maintain a caring, sensitive and professional attitude when working with people experiencing a range of psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, loss, guilt, pain and ideation which can potentially lead to suicide or self-harm. I have been working with vulnerable people for sixteen years. As a result, I have developed qualities such as compassion, care and a sense of responsibility. I am also aware of the legal issues involved when working and practising safeguarding within a multi-disciplinary environment and recognise the implications of specific legislation.  

The first session will be a chance for us to meet over the phone/zoom and make sure that you are happy with the service. It will include introductions, a short assessment, contracting and an opportunity for you to tell your story and explain the issues that you are experiencing. Please note that I am currently offering remote sessions only.
